So to solve for a, we must first get a on one side by itself. So let's add 9 to both sides to get:


Z+9=9a-3b

Then we are going to add 3b to both sides to get the a term by itself:


Z+9+3b=9a

And then since a has a coefficient of 9, we are going to divide by 9 to complete the solving for a:


((Z+9+3b)/(9))=a
